"Chiding Statement: You will find that I am, in fact, quite superior to yourself in several ways. I believe it was my master's intention for me to replace you."

"Statement: HK-50 is ready to serve, Master."

"Addendum: If he is deserving of it."

"Apologetic Statement: Of course, Master. I will endeavor to co-exist with this one without forcibly removing his motivators from his chassis."

"Observation: Ahh, the predecessor. Query: What is it you wish?"

"Statement: I have observed from my short time aboard this ship, combined with my existing programmed memory, that humans are too passive. As much as I would enjoy slaying countless enemies with the Klingons, I have been assigned by Master Tash to this vessel. How droll."

"Request: If there is to be violence, may I be the one to dismember the Klingon?"

"Excited Statement: Finally! A challenge! A chance to facilitace communications and... terminate hostilities."

HK-50 activates his arm-mounted plasma cannon and begins traversing the Jeffries tubes.

"Statement: Such restraint is pointless, and serve no use in a battle."
